    I'm guessing it's our connection or setup I'd say the server in Brazil has a seriously beefy connection

    I reckon if one of us hosts we can have a decent game, I'm willing to put together a tutorial to show you how to get it set up.

    Didn't TV or was it yourself tried hosting a game before...& it didn't show up on any of our join lists. We all got signed up, logged in & had it working through both the pc & FSD but to no avail :confused:

    That would have to do with your network setup, I use a cat5 cable connected to the back of the PC and Xbox. The PC has a wireless dongle connected to the Internet this connection is shared with the LAN connection, I am able to see games lobbies in Black Ops and other games.

    I have a full wired connection (my house is cat5'd) and I wasnt able to join a game properly iirc. I had opened all ports on my router too so it wasnt nothing to do with that.

    There is a competitor to xlink kai i saw on a website that I wouldnt be allowed link to, its down at the moment so i cant even bloody see what the name of the thing is!

    The trick is you need to have the computer running xlink and be in or have set up a game lobby (the integrated xlink in fsd doesn't work so well). Then you choose the system link option in game and the lobby should appear, keep in mind every player needs to have the same title update.

    My whole house is wired with Cat5e. At the time, I had the PC & 360 together through a switch, which fed back to the router.

    Exact same here, the service was up & running, I could log in via pc, browse games etc, could log in via FSD on the 360 too no probs...just nothing showed up in the games' system link join screen.

    Tried it via the pc like you said. Witnessmenow, TV nor myself had any luck. All on the same game version & update too.

    Do you have Internet connection sharing enabled on the primary connection?

    xbslink is the thing i was talking about. It looks like it could be good.

    It simplifies it, it seems to be peer to peer so all games would need to be pre arranged.

    I got this working with two other people last night one from the UK, if it doesn't work on your side then it's got to be your setup.

    Only worked for me when I turned off the firewall completely, before that I tried port forwarding with no joy, xbslink should show a green tick in the bottom right to indicate it can communicate with other nodes.

    You should be able to make an exception for it in the firewall rules/settings...incoming & outgoing

    Yeah, should be able to do that, i wouldn't be at all comfortable turning it off entirely.

    Managed to get it to work without dropping the firewall, uncheck the "use cloud server to check incoming port" option, and configure your router to forward the port.

    I'll try that later on tonight after the footie maybe.
